The good coordination among CoT members keeps yielding good results; we have been able to increase the fun this month so far, without losing relevant campaigns, advancing nicely on our great picture.

Some CoT Members News

Bulgaria

The endless war with eTurkey continues. Bulgaria has been winning decisively for more than 20 days now, so Turkey has enjoyed just one bonus for more than two months now.
For the last ten days it has been running smoothly with the only exception being on eDays 1,912-1,913, when the opposition showed some resistance. Together with some help from the allied forces and great self-devote of the Bulgarian fighters, Bulgaria is looking forward to the next adventures and helping allies tirelessly!

Belgium

Belgium continues to be a quiet and warm place, we didn’t have wars and so we helped our CoT allies.

In foreign affairs, the government is trying to arrange for a TW with the UK, whereas in the military it is trying to strengthen the state armies. In home affairs we were able to increase supplies to new players, and we are currently involved in opening Belgium to foreigners a little bit more.

New Zealand

With the help of Chile, New Zealand has started a war with Australia, to enjoy and train their citizens.

Chile

Chile has started a new month with some difficulties reorganizing, then great coordination for containing Argentina, a war which is getting even more interesting with the addition of Brazil against the “ches”. South America looked in flames this week! Is fun to hear SA being called “the new Balkans”

Peru

Peru has been without a President, so coordination has been harder; but they have worked to solve this situation, and form a coalition representing all citizens, which is now involved with all allies and CoT matters. Of course they have not stopped fighting for allies in all South American fronts, and kept the region of Pando conquered, while Brazil returned another region keeping now only Northern Low Amazon rented.

Paraguay

Paraguay has helped allies without engaging directly in the war, but it is now joining the party against Argentina with an NE that is in process of being approved at this time.

South Korea, Japan and USA

The campaign keeps going on, with Taiwan showing they are growing tired. Japan has been able to secure another original region, while SK and USA keep making Taiwan playing cat and mouse.

Talking about rumors: CoT new members

At this time, as told in the previous edition of this newspaper, I have received multiple questions from diverse countries about joining CoT

One basic rule that I will share, and is an obvious prerequisite to apply to any alliance; without this, I simply will not even pass the request to the members, as that would violate CoT Charter:

• No CoT member can sign MPP with any country that is in active war against another CoT member

So any country that wants to apply, need to cancel or let expire their MPPs with Argentina, Taiwan, Colombia, Ukraine, Grece, Turkey, Iran, Uruguay, Australia or the UAE (as of today, eDay 1915; list may change over time, of course)

But so far, no country has officially applied to CoT; that makes sense, as countries that have not yet grown a relationship with most CoT members, would probably be rejected and that may slow down their process. As explained the previous time, all those interested on being our friends, should follow the right process and get engaged before applying. Then, of course we will be happy to see friendly countries to apply, once they have been showing for a while the collaboration spirit with all members, that is needed for a Circle of Trust.

So don’t believe all said by some countries that call themselves “CoT” or “ProCoT” these days… Our full members are, in rigorous alphabetical order as usual: Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Indonesia, Japan, Lithuania, Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, New Zealand, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Switzerland; and the only trial member as of day 1915 is USA.

There is no country with MPP with the UAE, but of course no CoT ally would sign it while there is any war with them. The point is not UAE is an enemy, but that you cannot join our alliance while you have MPP with a country that is in active war with a CoT member.

Why won't you back up Australia when Chile broke the treaty that was keeping the peace but of course, you'll side with Chile so you can push another country deeper into the ground. CoT, you're no worse than EDEN. Actually, EDEN seems a much better alliance compared to you. Lift your game, you could've made some great friends instead of a country made up of 90% multiple accounts.

Like RL they decided to ally with the eUS and ignored regional powers. When eNZ came along we looked around & p much did the opposite of eAus. It has nothing to do with 'fair' and has everything to do with playing the game poorly & not learning the lessons of 5 years of bad game playing. U reap what u sow.
